Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory and the Search for Unity in Physical Law by Peter Woit. It is the only known theory that explains 2:07 pm, May 11, 2009 · jules said Thanks Barry, for your prompt reply. Jul 11, 2012 - Given the fact that I appreciated Peter Woit's skeptical book on string theory (Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory and the Search for Unity in Physical Law), I queried my sources. Jan 23, 2011 - 1: It is not currently known if there exists any potential variation in these basic properties of the universe. Oct 3, 2006 - What it is is an abysmal failure of education [sexual and otherwise]. Sep 16, 2008 - Retrieved on December 19, 2005. Feb 17, 2012 - You've got Peter Woit's ongoing blog: "Not Even Wrong", and his book: "Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory and the Search for Unity in Physical Law". Oct 12, 2011 - Finding a way to confirm string theory with our current technology is a major challenge. Nov 6, 2013 - Similarly, in his 2007 book Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory and the Search for Unity in Physical Law, Peter Woit accused physicists of much the same sin as mathematical economists are said to commit. Sep 24, 2010 - There's no evidence for these hidden dimensions, but they do help hold together certain models of the universe. €� An easy article for everybody outside physics wanting to understand the very basics of the theory. (And quantum field theory is just a particular example of quantum mechanics, not an entirely new way of thinking.) That's true for string theory and other approaches to quantum gravity — they might take very different views of what constitutes “spacetime” or “matter,” but very rarely do they muck about with the essentials of quantum mechanics. Sep 4, 2012 - Similarly, for the A-T philosopher, human thought in normal circumstances is a seamless unity of the material and immaterial, the physiological and the psychological. Nov 11, 2013 - Similarly, in his 2007 book "Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory and the Search for Unity in Physical Law," Peter Woit accused physicists of much the same sin as those mathematical economists are said to commit. Dec 31, 2013 - But neither “quantum uncertainty” nor any other theory of physics is or could be the reason, for quantum mechanics and all the other laws of physics presuppose the existence of a concrete physical reality that behaves according to those laws. Not Even Wrong - The Failure of String Theory And the Search for Unity in Physical Law. Aug 27, 2006 - String theory is a model of fundamental physics whose building blocks are one-dimensional extended objects (strings) rather than the zero-dimensional points (particles) that are the basis of the Standard Model of particle physics. The UK Peter Woit, in "Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory and the Search for Unity in Physical Law" (Basic; $26.95), prefers the term "disaster. Apr 28, 2012 - The other is, why do we have this particular framework of physical law, or even something called “physical law” at all? On string theory: The Trouble With Physics: The Rise of String Theory, The Fall of a Science, and What Comes Next, by Lee Smolin, and Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory and the Search for Unity in Physical Law by Peter Woit.
